Did you know that most Americans gain between 10-15 pounds between Thanksgiving and the New Year? While this amount doesn’t sound too threatening to some people, most individuals don’t lose the excess weight and the cumulative effects over several years can contribute to a substantial increase in body fat, weight, and inches. Not only does this impact one’s quality of life and self-esteem, it increases the risk for several chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

How It Works:

Sign up for $25 online or in person at CYB and receive one raffle ticket. Beginning weight will be taken the day of or the week before the contest starts with a staff member.

One WEEKLY name will be drawn every Saturday morning after Bootcamp. The winner MUST weigh in (in private) and weight MUST BE no more than 2 pounds greater than official start weight. Any amount of weight LOSS is acceptable (prizes TBD).

One GRAND PRIZE name will be drawn at the end of the contest. The award will be 50% of the total fees collected with a minimum Grand Prize of $100.THE MORE PEOPLE SIGNING UP, THE BIGGER THE POT! Grand Prize drawing will be on Saturday January 6th.

REMEMBER THIS IS NOT A WEIGHT LOSS CONTEST. This is CYB’s fun way to help all of us be mindful and enjoy this season better. It reminds us that the Holiday is more about family and conection than it is about food and over abundance.

This class is perfect for those new to boxing and to fitness, and for those who are more experienced who want to hone their technique. This class is designed to teach the fundamentals of the Sweet Science like wrapping your hands, footwork, proper punching techniques, body mechanics, basic defense and offense and strategy. This class will also offer conditioning at a pace designed for those new to exercise or for those who have just started back on their road to a healthier lifestyle. Learn to box and get a great workout without the intimidation factor.

As a boxer, it is crucial that I breath while under fire. Breath? you say. Of course you have to breath. Every body breathes. But did you know that breathing while exercising is different than just breathing as you do thousands of times a day all day long? What I'm talking about is breathing from your diaphragm, which is crucial while being active. And here's how:

Breath through your nose and out of your mouth. If you mouth breath, which is common while exercising, your are gulping air. This forces you to breath out of the top of your chest, which causes your chest to tighten. When your chest tightens, your muscles constrict, which then causes you to feel heavy in your legs, arms and chest, and can cause you to feel light-headed. This results in a feeling very similar to a panic attack.

Make a SSST noise. I used to tell my clients to make a SSSHHh sound when throwing hard power punches. But recently I read an article that said that the SSST sound forces you to breath from your diaphragm. AND IT WAS RIGHT! Give it a try......SEE! You can feel it. This technique does not just apply to boxers. Do it when performing any dynamic move such as ball slams or burpees, it even works well with crunches and push-ups. I promise you will feel the difference.

Practice and think about breathing.Sounds ridiculous right? But practice makes perfect. Since breathing during exercise requires a different tempo, we have to teach ourselves to do it, which requires us to have to think about something our body does involuntarily.
